What is Local Cache?

Local Cache is a ClickView solution installed on a school’s local server. It stores videos locally, allowing schools to deliver them over their internal network rather than relying solely on internet streaming. This helps provide consistent access to high-quality video content in classrooms, regardless of external internet conditions.

Should your school use Local Cache?

You may want to consider Local Cache if your school experiences any of the following:

• Videos in ClickView are slow to load or show a spinning loader wheel.
• Whole classrooms need to play HD videos simultaneously without network congestion.
• Your school’s internet or Wi-Fi is unreliable and disrupts video playback.
• Your school’s internet bandwidth is less than 100 Mbps.

If your school does not have Local Cache and you’d like to install it, refer to the install guide for instructions.

Benefits of Local Cache

• Secure – Local Cache supports HTTPS, so ClickView content is delivered securely, and data is protected.
• Intelligent – Automatically downloads and stores only the content you are watching, making efficient use of disk space and bandwidth.
• Cache everything – Reliably delivers all ClickView content to classrooms and saves internet bandwidth, minimising video loading time.
